Pentair CODELINE 40E30N - Danger High Pressure Device; Important Safety Precautions; General Information

2
DANGER – HIGH PRESSURE DEVICE
This vessel may cause loss of life, severe bodily harm, or property damage if not correctly installed, operated and
maintained. Read and understand all guidelines given in this bulleting before attempting to open, operate or service
this vessel. Failure to follow these guidelines and observe every precaution will result in malfunctions and could
result in catastrophic failure. Misuse, incorrect assembly, or use of damaged or corroded components can result in
high-velocity release of the end closure. We recommend that only a qualified technician experienced in servicing
high-pressure hydraulic systems open, close and service this vessel.
Important safety precautions
Do’s
 Read, understand and follow every guideline in this
bulletin. Failure to take every precaution may void
warranty and could result in catastrophic failure.
 Install in an area where a vessel or piping
malfunction that result in water leakage would not
damage sensitive or expensive equipment, such as
electronic components.
 Verify that head locking components are properly
placed and secured.
 Inspect end closures regularly, replace deteriorated
components and correct causes of corrosion.
 Follow membrane element manufacturer’s
Recommendations for loading elements into the
vessel (see replacing elements).
Don’ts
 Operate vessel at pressures and temperatures in
excess of their specific rating.
 Service any component until you verify that
pressure is fully relieved from the vessel.
 Use corroded components. Use of such
Components may result in catastrophic failure.
 Pressurize vessel until after visually inspecting
To ensure that the spiral retaining rings is correctly
installed and seated in their grooves.
 Tolerate leaks or allow end closures to be routinely
wetted in any way.
 Use excessive silicone lubricant.
 Pressurize vessel without element in place unless
permeate ports are plugged internally.
 Overtighten fittings in ports.
 Installation or maintenance.
 Use petroleum products on Noryl components.
Allow petroleum or silicone based products to
Come in contact with membrane elements during.
 Use the vessel at negative pressure
 Stand or climb on the pressure vessels, or the
Feed / concentrate or permeate ports.
General information
The 40E30N RO Pressure Vessel is designed for continuous, long-term use as housing for reverse osmosis in typical
commercial water treatment systems. Models are available for 300 psi. The 40E Series vessels are designed to
accommodate any make of 4-inch nominal diameter spiral-wound element with a 3/4” diameter male product water
tube. The fiberglass shell can be damaged by rigid clamping, impact, scratches or abrasion. Metal parts must be
maintained free of corrosion to eliminate potentially unsafe conditions due to corrosion. The information and
guidelines incorporated in this User’s Guide are intended only as a supplement to good industrial practice. Full
responsibility for correct operation and maintenance of vessel remains with the user. This guide should be used in
conjunction with drawing number 518016. When properly installed and maintained, Model 40E30N vessels can be
expected to provide safe operation over a long service life.
